1968GMC> It's just a little 454 Nothing fancy I love the wire holders. They work great.
Blue Beard> I am debating the whole heater thing. I will probably only drive this in the summer time so I may not hook it up. Then Again I may sell the truck when I get done so I can buy a 4x4. Still contiplating. Thanks for the comments.

Hey Frost,
What gives with the master cylinder? Is that from a newer model truck? Any brake system details will surely be helpful.

I'd get that kink out of that water line before letting it run too long. Looks good so far!

The master cylinder came out of a mid 80's s10 truck. I haven't really driven it but it seems to work well. I got the Idea from (slammed67). He has alot more info. Thanks for the compliments.

I've been thinking about running those valve covers. Do you have full roller rockers?

meathead95> I am running hooker competion headers. They are roughly about an inch below frame level.
Thanks for all the compliments. I may end up selling it to get into my first house. I am hoping that won't happen though.
